Bob,
But back to your original post, why do you think that there are so few
Sprite articles in either magazine? Are they all published in Rick Moses'
newsletter? Could it be a chicken/egg thing? That is, spridgeteers don't
view the mags as being written for them, so they don't send in articles, so
the mags don't carry lots of spridget stuff, so spridgeteers don't view the
mags as ...
As for why belong to either 'club', I have a local AHCA chapter of which
I'm a member. I wouldn't join the national if not for that. Possibly my
view would change if I had the time to travel to a Conclave or whatever
they're called. Neither mag provides more info than what I get from this
list and the various web sites. Not knocking the mags per se; I simply get
mo' betta' stuff for Sprites off the web.
